E8 Markets vs Blueberry Futures

Drawdown, the rule that ends most accounts

E8 runs a EOD/Dynamic drawdown and Blueberry runs EOD or Trailing.

Trailing means the limit rises with your equity peak, open positions included: giving profit back can end the account even without a real loss. EOD only recalculates at the session close, which forgives intraday swings.

In practice that is -4% / -8% of room at E8 and $1K-$5K at Blueberry.
